Tires Pirelli or Continental
I have PZeros RS6 (21") and they do get along as expected, although disappear quickly. Harsh, perfect for cornering of this 2.5T monster, and come with really LARGE (2cm off) rim protector.
I currently have the Pirelli P4 Seasons, and I'm sad they're discontinued.
I replaced the tires on the CX9 with a set of Pirelli Scorpions and loved them. They handled very well in the wet and dry,were quiet, and did not impact fuel efficiency significantly.
I replaced the run flats with Continental Sure Grip right of the rip. World of difference in ride.
Continental extreme contact I think is what my bf has on his little Audi sedan, and we got thru last winters blizzard with ease. All I know is they are hard to squeal cause they won’t slide!
Yeah I too have ran both Michelin AS3+ and PSAS4, and 2 sets of Continental DWS06 (the original and another set of the "Plus") and I choose the DWS06 since they are a little more comfort oriented, a little less summer performance oriented. Have not had any real complaints about any of them, besides maybe my AS3+ getting noisy as they wore down but they dont make or sell those anymore so it's a moot point. Love the treadlife on the DWS06.
I've run the Michelin AS3+ and the Conti DWS06+ , I greatly preferred the DWS06+ in daily driver situations. They were softer riding, and felt much more confident in the rain/snow and were fantastic with evacuating water. The Michelin were better as a performance tire in the spirited drives and such, but for me that was .5% of the time and I never regretted the Conti's. I've never had a long term positive experience with Pirelli tires and personally wouldn't purchase a set.
I’ve had the DWS06+ on a couple of cars now and they were great, no complaints. Good grip in wet/dry/light snow and not noisy.
Now with 17K miles i have had three flats due to the well known issues with Stock Conti's on the 20' Rosarios. Replaced with Goodyear upfront and so far so good.
The stock Pirellis are trash, and the low profile is why they keep bubbling up.
